Home Visits
Telephone 0161 272 9616 select option 2 for enquiries. If a patient is too ill or too infirm to attend the surgery, the doctor may decide to visit them at home. Please make requests for home visits before 10.00am if possible, so that we can organise our day’s work.
Should you need a doctor in an emergency after the surgery has closed, ring the surgery number. It would also be of assistance if you could say how your house can be identified from its neighbours, especially after dark, in cases where visits are arranged.
Results

If the doctor arranges any tests to be done for you e.g. blood or urine tests or x-rays etc. please telephone or call in for the results between 9.30am and 4.00pm, Mon - Fri. This gives the doctor time to see the results and advise if anything needs to be done about them.
